If you just pop that CD in, you can use the command codesmitty install[/code] to list and select the software you want to install.

    Once you've installed bash, if you want to use system tools like smit or chuser to set your shell to bash, you'll need to add /usr/bin/bash to the "shells" line in /etc/security/login.cfg.

    I hope that helps.

    Regards,

    Also note the the default for AIX is the Korn Shell.
    You can have this on Linux too!

    Hope this helps, N
